Solution

The correct option is C They take place in a single step.
Recall what you saw from the video. Elementary reactions are so named because they have just 1 step in the entire reaction. That is to say that they get completed in a single step.

You will learn a slightly more rigorous definition of elementary reactions soon.
Examples of elementary reactions would be

$N_{2} O_{4} (g) \to 2 N O_{2} (g) 2 N O C l \to 2 N O (g) + C O_{2} (g) 2 N O (g) + O_{2} (g) \to 2 N O_{2} (g)$

All other types of reactions are called complex reactions.
